Production of Glen Scotia’s 21 Years Old Campbeltown Single Malt

The production of the 21 Years Old Campbeltown Single Malt takes place at the traditional Glen Scotia distillery, which looks back on a long history. Carefully selected malted barley is used for this special whisky, known for its characteristic Campbeltown flavor. The malting takes place in the distillery’s own malt house before the barley is mixed with pure, clear water filtered through the Scottish Highlands. The first distillation takes place in copper stills, followed by a second distillation phase that refines the whisky and intensifies its aromas.

After distillation, the 21 Years Old Campbeltown Single Malt matures in fine oak casks that previously held bourbon or sherry. These types of casks impart complex vanilla and fruit notes to the whisky. During its long 21-year maturation, diverse flavor nuances develop, making it one of Scotland’s most sought-after whiskies.
